But then I thought, maybe they just don't have anything to talk about? <BR/><BR/>It does take talent to make the mundane interesting and I think SAHM's do it best! How can millions of us moms (and dads to be PC) talk about poop, vomit, first words and first sex talks a cajillion times and still keep people laughing?MQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09124576409375038121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19050282.post-1138287554218745272006-01-26T08:59:00.000-06:002006-01-26T08:59:00.000-06:00*just listening**just listening*jason evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801002334208137524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19050282.post-1138250702974067832006-01-25T22:45:00.000-06:002006-01-25T22:45:00.000-06:00I want to be fascinating, but I don't know if I wa...I want to be fascinating, but I don't know if I want it bad enough to be quiet for it.

(Off to see your latest blog entry! :)<BR/><BR/>Alexa: so happy you stopped by! And I sure wish I carried a tape recorder around with me when I was a kid. I'm very fond of your site, as well!<BR/><BR/>Carmi: Thanks for stopping by! I agree 100% And has anyone ever told you you look just like Joaquin Phoenix in that picture? :) <BR/><BR/>Gary: Very true...I wonder what David Sedaris's biography would be like! Or Augustyn Burroughs.<BR/><BR/>Carolyn: exactly!!! And thank you so much for saying you like my writing. After I did this post I thought, Oh great. I'm going to scare everyone away with my weirdness.

But I'm the kind to tell my whole life story the second I meet you.

After j-school, I added a pen to my toolkit.<BR/><BR/>My parents still don't understand what the heck I'm writing about. But they nod approvingly whenever I'm published.

After all...That's where blogging becomes difficult. After all, what more is there to write about unless you consider yourself an expert in something and you write about that. Which is really kind of uppity, too. I've been accused, and I know plenty of others who have been, too, of being self-absorbed in my blog. My thought is, of <I>course!</I> What else is there to write about, really. Okay, that was kind of incoherent, but I'm leaving it.<BR/><BR/>And, by the way, you do make the mundane funny.Carynhttp://wordplay.lastpromise.comnoreply@blogger.com
